CHAPTER SIX

HUNTER WONDERED IF Charlotte might’ve had second thoughts about getting involved with a father and son when there was no sign of her at the rink. Now she’d had time to think about the implications of his tangled personal life there was a possibility she’d back out of the offer to support him today. They’d had fun in the park together but she hadn’t signed on for a third party. Neither had he.

The strong connection he’d made with Charlotte hadn’t figured in his plans when he’d moved out here but he couldn’t imagine not having her in his life now. He didn’t want anything to affect his relationship with Alfie but she was good for him and surely his happiness would filter through to his son too? A dad who’d found someone he enjoyed spending time with and could really talk with had to be better for him than a man still locked in his own world of guilt and regret.

His day was made with the sight of her walking in and giving him a tentative wave, as if she didn’t really know if this was a good idea either. Hunter waved back, careful not to let go of Alfie as he took his first wobbly steps on the ice. This was an exercise in trust and if he let him fall it would be difficult to get him to have faith in him again.

He’d had to get Sara’s parents to agree to this unsupervised afternoon out with Alfie and it did feel a little as though he was betraying their trust by inviting Charlotte along too. They hadn’t been thrilled about the prospect of their grandson pulling on his first skates and Charlotte had been right about treading softly, not rushing things, when his relationship with the O’Reillys was still fragile, to say the least, but her presence meant a lot to him.

He tried to convince himself that this chance meeting wasn’t deceiving anyone. It was more about having a friendly face around, someone to help fill the long silences with his son when he couldn’t quite find the words himself. After their impromptu picnic in the park he was also happy to see her on a more personal level. He wanted that chance to reconnect and maybe even advance their relationship a little further too.

‘I’ve got you. Don’t worry.’ He grabbed Alfie’s arm to steady him as he began to lose his balance. One heavy fall could be all it took for him to lose interest in the idea of skating altogether and he wanted this to be the one thing he could do for his son that no one else could.

Alfie was still getting his bearings, clinging onto the barrier with one hand and Hunter with the other, as he tottered around the rink.

‘Hi. I just thought I’d call in and let you know I’ve been up to the hospital to see Colton. He’s doing well, all things considered, though he’s not happy about missing Nottingham.
